The core Caml system: status report and challenges, by INRIA's OCaml team member

TODO: description of the team member

This talk will briefly review ongoing work on the core Caml system and discuss some medium to long-term challenges, both technical and organizational.

OASIS-DB: a CPAN for OCaml, by Sylvain Le Gall

OASIS-DB is a set of tools and a webserver that helps to manage OASIS enabled softwares and libraries to live together. It uses OASIS data to build a database and to understand the link between each packages. It also provides a backup site for tarball. The webserver is built on top of Ocsigen and Lwt.

This talk will show the architecture of OASIS and OASIS-DB and demonstrate some of its low paperwork publication scheme: upload your tarball to the website and let all others download, compile and install it using only 2 commands.

Client server Web programming with Eliom

Using OCaml to generate 198,278 lines of C, by Richard Jones

We use OCaml in the libguestfs project to generate large amounts of boilerplate C code. This short talk (10 mins) will explain what the problem that existing projects such as libvirt suffered from and how we successfully solved it, and what difficulties remain.

MirageOS, by Anil Madhavapeddy

Developping Frama-C Plug-ins in OCaml, by Julien Signoles

Frama-C is an extensible and collaborative platform dedicated to source-code analysis of C software. It is fully developed in OCaml. Any OCaml developer can extend the platform with a new plug-in in order to add new analyzers or functionalities.

This talk will show the Frama-C architecture and main services and how Ocaml is used to implement them. It also explains specificities of Frama-C plug-in development and their raisons d'être.

The eternal Solution for Memoisation: Ephemerons, by François Bobot

Location/Date

The meeting will take place 2011/04/15 from 9am to 6pm at Telecom ParisTech site Barrault.

Connecting through ethernet cable will be possible and will give you a better connectivity. Since the number of ethernet plug is limited people are invited to come with some ethernet switches to be able to offer more plugs.

Type E (French) Power plug will also be available, if your laptop doesn't have enough power to stay on battery a whole day. Just as for ethernet plug, people are invited to come with their national adapter for type E power plug and with power strip to be able to offer more plugs.

Participants

The list of participants is maintained here and you can register through this link. You need to have a valid login on the OCaml Forge to register.

There is enough room for 70 people in the room booked and the list of participants will be closed on 8th April.
